Not a smoker myself, but I can tell you what worked for my brother when he quit in college.

AC went out in his dorm during an August heat wave, and it took forever for them to fix it. He decided that it would be a perfect time to go cold turkey, since he'd be so miserable from the heat that the few days of nicotine withdraw wouldn't really be comparably bad. And he said it was right, he didn't think about it during the worst part, and by the time they fixed the AC, he was 90% of the way through the process.

So if you live in one of the parts of the world moving to summer right now, it might be worth a shot.

Or at 720p, as this is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and running stuff on it at 16:10 will look weird.

Hmmm. One of his strings stops at the nut and another completely misses the posts, but I'm guessing that's because there are only two tuning pegs for four strings? I'm guessing someone pranked him by giving him that instrument? Must be a pain to tune that.

Yep, precisely why I don't play kernel anticheat games.

Considering 99.9999% of all the games out there don't have it, and I have a selection of games large enough to last a lifetime, I don't lose sleep over that decision.

I use both, they are two separate words, not one word with multiple spellings.

Not sure why people are changing it. Yes, language evolves, but maybe we could all focus on evolving it in areas that actually need evolution?

I second the recent PlayStation controllers. My friend gave me an extra PS4 controller he had and it's basically a Deck controller minus the back buttons and a track pad. Works fine for most games I play with it, but I'm primarily a M&K guy.

Burgers and orange juice, I can't think of a more iconic combination.
